Due date is the 20th Nov...but he's bound to go over! I shall post an update as soon as I can...once they've done all the patching, stitching, cleaning and other nasty things that lie in store for me! Ugh.....

Taking the laptop into hospital with my wireless thing so I can email all my mates - real-life ones and cyber ones too.

Glad to see your priorities are correct :smile:

Hmm, I had a colleague who went on about how she was going to have things up on facebook etc. It was 2 weeks later I finally found out she'd had it, by asking a friend....


I'm sure you'll be more organised. Do remember though, that according to my sister, your brains turn to cheese the minute you're a mum....:biggrin:

Damn, have I missed the photos? There's just some random html in the box now:sad:.

Keep going Cathryn. It's fantastic that you're still cycling! Be warned though. My sister was convinced she was going to go past her due date but was actually early. Get that bag packed!
 
Mrs Pm has just reminded me of something we played once the kids were a few months old and just starting to sit up by themselves, the 'baby left, baby right' game. Sit baby on bed with a pillow either side and try to guess which way they will fall over. Only works for a very short time before they learn to keep their balance. Used to end up with all of us laughing/gurgling.

Told you I found that hard to believe.

Besides, a cow is only a heifer until she becomes pregnant for the first time... [/pedant]

My electron nano arrived today (well, yesterday but I only got it today). It's fabulous!! SO bright. I can't wait to use it tomorrow. I shall have to cycle in the dark just for the sheer hell of using it. Thanks everyone for the recommendation!!!

I am now imagining you arriving on reception at the Women's hospital in 3 week's time, complete with cycle helmet and SPD shoes, panniers full of night clothes:
Receptionist: "Yes, can I help you?"
Cathryn: "Yes, I'm about to give birth - waters broke a couple of hours ago, and contractions are getting regular and stronger.



Anywhere I safe I can leave my bike for a few days?"

I'm looking for a front and rear set myself at the mo - you recommend it?

What batteries does it run on? I've tended to try and settle on AAAs...

Nano takes 4 x AAA - don't know how long they last as I just change them over for a fresh set from the charger when they look a bit dim. And for the rear light you can't beat the smart superflash for cheap bright!!! Still £8 at wiggle - I ordered another 2 yesterday. You can even buy a bracket to go on the end of a rack that fits the smart light - but I can't remember where that is from.

One bad point about the nano (as with many front lights) there is no side view of the light - its all forward. But the light fits easily into your pocket and feels like a torch to hold. Don't always find the switch the easiest to use with gloves on but not absolutely awful.

No idea if the clamp will fit around the taped bars though.
